In this workshop, we will be covering....
CADETTE ENTREPRENEUR BADGE: In small groups, girls will use the
Engineering Design Process to create, design, & build an African Safari
Park tourist business; creating a business plan, Logo & Tagline, developing
expenses & revenue, and identifying who are their customers. They then develop and give a presentation
pitch to an “Investor Board” and asking for seed money to “fund” their business
to get it started. Our own personal
Shark Tank experience!
SENIOR SOCIAL INNOVATOR BADGE: In small groups, girls will use the
Engineering Design Process to choose one social issue that the African Safari Park
tourist business helps or solves. Around
their social issue, they will deduct where technology impacts it, what other
cultures can teach us around it, and identify what the obstacles are for people
dealing with it every day. They will
create a business plan, fully identify their social innovation concept, and
give a presentation pitch to the Cadette businesses to persuade them to adopt
their social issue into their business plan and thusly change the world.
AMBASSADOR RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT BADGE: In small groups, girls will use the
Engineering Design Process to analyze the African Safari Park tourist business
from a 1-point revenue. They will
brainstorm and identify other revenue streams, research how tourist businesses
R & D new services & products.
Taking what they have learned, they will interview the “investor board”
to identify which services & products they personally most value and
why. They will give a presentation pitch
to the Cadette tourist businesses to inform them about their R & D, why they
need multi-point revenue streams, and their top 3 new ways to bring in
additional revenue. Their goal is that
some of the businesses adopt their new revenue streams ideas into their
business plan.
Girls are
encouraged to wear their sash/vest.
